Abstract
A hinge for a movable furniture part fastened to a body of a piece of furniture is proposed, the hinge having a first fastening part which is attachable to the body and which is connected pivotably via a joint mechanism to a second fastening part attachable to the movable furniture part, the joint mechanism comprising articulated levers mounted via axes of articulation. According to the invention, a further pivotably mounted lever is present, which, during a complete as-intended pivoting movement of the hinge, is temporarily coupled to a guide portion on the hinge, the further lever acting upon a damper arrangement of the hinge.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedThe invention claimed is:
1. A hinge for a movable furniture part, in particular door or flap, fastened to a body of a piece of furniture, the hinge having a first fastening part which is attachable to the body and which is connected pivotably via a joint mechanism to a second fastening part attachable to the movable furniture part, the joint mechanism comprising articulated levers mounted via axes of articulation, and a further pivotably mounted lever being present, which, during a complete as-intended pivoting movement of the hinge is temporarily coupled to a guide portion on the hinge, the further lever acting upon a damper arrangement of the hinge, wherein the further lever is received pivotably via an axis separate from the axes of articulation.
2. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the damper is selected from the group consisting of an inductively operating electric motor, as a hydraulic or pneumatic actuator, as a cylinder, as an electrochemical or electromechanical actuator, and as a piezo-actuator.
3. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the further lever and the guide portion are coordinated with one another in such a way as to cancel a coupling state between the further lever and the guide portion, the coupling state occurring during an as-intended pivoting movement of the hinge into a first pivoting direction at a coupling point of the pivoting movement, during a pivoting movement of the hinge out of the coupling point into a second pivoting direction which is opposite to the first pivoting direction.
4. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the further lever is designed to act upon a portion of a component which is present on the first fastening part attachable to the body.
5. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guide portion is received between two axes of articulation of the hinge.
6. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guide portion comprises a guide groove which is designed to be coordinated for temporary coupling to a meshing portion of the further lever.
7. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guide portion is present in such a way that the guide portion is co-moved during an as-intended pivoting movement of the hinge.
8. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the further lever is mounted pivotably on one of the fastening parts.
9. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the further lever and the damper arrangement are arranged on the same fastening part.
10. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hinge is designed as a universal joint hinge.
11. The hinge as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hinge is designed as a wide-angle hinge.
12. A piece of furniture having a movable furniture part, in particular door or flap, fastened to a body of the piece of furniture, the piece of furniture having a hinge as claimed in claim 1 .Cited by (0)
